Two goldfinches perched on opposite sides of a green bird feeder, enjoying breakfast in the morning sunshine.

A goldfinch perched beside a green bird-feeder. They are turned to face the camera, with fragments of sunflower seed still on their beak.

Two goldfinches perch high in a sycamore tree, somewhat dark against the evening sky, surrounded by clusters of seedpods. The bird in the top-left has a clump of nesting material held in its beak.

Every day this spring, a pair of goldfinches have visited our garden for a leisurely breakfast, and I think they're building a nest in the overhanging trees

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

The Goldfinch painting

Finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. What stayed with me most was how truthfully it shows trauma - and the ways people try to outrun it through addiction, lies, escape, and self-destruction

A powerful, deeply human novel. A great one for #bookclub discussion.

I was already in my 40s the first time I really paid attention to birds. I saw a few #goldfinch in the backyard and thought it was an escaped canary. For today's alternate #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Finches.

🪶 It’s Saturday; which means time for #smallbirdsaturday, the day to celebrate the #littlebirds.

For this week I have;

Despite the #snowstorm, springtime appears to be underway based on this Winged One. The redpolls are coloring up as well.

"The goldfinch in this photograph feels like a small burst of sunlight given feathers. Its body is a vivid, buttery yellow—so bright it seems to glow against the muted wood beneath its feet. The black cap on its head is crisp and clean, like a brushstroke of ink, and the wings fold neatly along its sides in a pattern of black edged with sharp white bars. The bird is caught mid‑meal, a seed held delicately in its beak. More seeds scatter around it, some resting on the wooden surface, others nestled in the blurred background of a feeder overflowing with shapes and colors. The goldfinch’s posture is alert but unhurried, as if it has paused just long enough for you to admire it before returning to its breakfast. The texture of its feathers is remarkably clear—soft along the belly, sleek along the wings, and slightly fluffed at the neck where the light catches the yellow most intensely. The contrast between the bird’s bright plumage and the earthy tones of the feeder makes it stand out like a living jewel. In the corner, the quiet signature “© Swede’s Photographs” sits unobtrusively, letting the goldfinch remain the star of the frame." - Microsoft Copilot

Dad always had Goldfinch flocks (Carduelis carduelis) in the garden and we used to love watching them 'weigh' each sunflower heart and discarding those that were too light, with ground feeders enjoying the discards #bernardsbirds @rspb.bsky.social @btobirds.bsky.social #wildlife #birds #goldfinch

The image shows a small brown bird with a bit of yellow on the throat and white wing bars. This is an American Goldfinch, a small finch that we see year-round here in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. The American Goldfinch diet is dominated by seeds, including those from thistle, sunflowers, asters, grasses, and trees. It generally forages while perched on the plant and will hang upside down from branches or thistle heads to reach seeds. American Goldfinches readily come to winter feeders, where they are sometimes seen of flocks of 200 or more. They come to most kinds of feeders (including hopper, platform, and hanging feeders) and are also seen feeding on the ground below feeders.
